ilge ttshnletttemr tu in iinse'zttm @that ant making part at the TO -ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

4Be it known that I, G. A. HEIN, of Waterford, in the county of Erie, and State of Pennsylvnnighavo A invented a new and improved Water-Conductor Fastening; and I do hereby declare that the following is n. full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use thc same, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings, forming part ot' this specification.A i

The object of this invention is to provide e. .fastening for the water-conductors of buildings, which, while it presents a neat and workmanlike appearance, and is' durable, and not likely4 to get out of order, shall allow the conductor to be attached to or removed from the some wthoutrrmoving the'fastening.

And the'invention consists in attaching the conductor to the building by a. jointed clasp, having a screw or spike attached thereto, as will be hereinafter described. l

Figure is a. longitudinal section4 of a. conductor .attached to the side of abuilding with my improved fastening. l

. Figure 2 is a cross-section of the fastening and conductor throng-h the line x ai.

Similar letters of reference indic'nte corresponding parts. A represents the outsidewall of a building. B is the conductor attached thereto, for 'conveying water from the eaves-spout. C is the fastening. This fastening is made-in the fom. l' two semicircles or other eqivnle'nt form, of sheet or band metnl, of suitable size.

The two ports are permanently jointed or hinged together at d, and the other connection at e is in the hinge- -form, but the pin f, by which the. two parte are joined, is romovable,as seen more plainly in iig. 1.

4The two parts of the fastening may be designated byv the letters F- G. To the part G there isn screw or spik-e, H, attached, as seen in the drawing, which is screwed or driven into the building, as seen in dotted lines in fig. 1.

When the connection with the building is thus made, the conductor-pipe isplaced, in' the circle, or in contact with G, and the part F' is clasped over `or nround'it, :ind secured to G by the pinf, as seen in lig. 1.

To keep the conductor in place, or to prevent its slipping down freni its own weight, there are littlc brackets, 2', forming shoulders, attached to `it,`which rest upon the clasp, as seen in the drawing. l

The arrangement and application are so plainly shown in the drawing, that further description is deemed unnecessary. r

Having thusgdescribed my invention, I claiin as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patentlfllhe conductor-fastening C, composed of `two or more circular parte jointed-together, and fastened to each other and to the building, `substantially as'lerein sho'wn and described.
